I have a special event tonight and wanted a spring belt for my dress but couldn’t really find what I wanted, so I decided to make one! I had seen the tutorials for rope bracelets so I used that as a base. I love how delicate the rope is and the nice shine it has. Will post the full outfit for Frugal Fashion Friday.

STEP 1: Materials

Rope, leather, button, rivets

STEP 2: Tools

Hammer, hole punch and rotary cutter

STEP 3: Cut rope in half and make first loop

*Make sure you put tape around the ends so it doesn’t unravel.

STEP 4: Loop the other half underneath and over.

STEP 5: Take the bottom piece of the second rope go under, over, under.

STEP 6: Tighten Knot

STEP 7: Measure the length you require, I then cut off the excess rope.

STEP 8: Cut leather pieces for the back using a template you create. (I am making this up as I go!)

STEP 9: Hot glue the rope pieces at the end of the leather and create holes for the rivets.

STEP 10: Hammer rivets into holes. Then using your hammer insert the button pieces to either side.
